Hmmmm......Not so sure.....
From your link:

"So far, India has managed to evade the caste-race equation by arguing that caste distinctions are based on social, occupational and economic considerations and not on genetic racial differences."

Either they are correct or not. It would certainly appear that they are correct.

Says you, but not anyone else.
Can you not work it out for yourself?

Are these people the same race?

No, you're getting confused. The word Jewish can relate to someone who follows the Jewish faith or to someone who's of that racial grouping.

Given that 'race' is a theoretical construct, it's defined by how it's used. When Hitler was exterminating all the Jews he could find, or specifically anyone with a hint of Jewish blood, he was targeting a race.

So, in this context, yes they're probably all the same race. Yes, dividing the world into races is stupid, but pretending that idiots don't try to do it is just weird.

Of course. I am not confused as that is all it can relate to.
You have been duped by the propaganda of vested interests.

or to someone who's of that racial grouping.
It is not a racial grouping; it is a religion.

It might be - but that does not mean it isn't wrong. It does not mean anything you want can be defined as a race - there used to be an idiot on here who maintained it could relate to football teams.

When Hitler was exterminating all the Jews he could find, or specifically anyone with a hint of Jewish blood, he was targeting a race.
Which race was that?

Don't be ridiculous.

Meaningless.


Mixed race, for example does not mean having parents of different religion therefore you can deduce what is does mean.
 
I see, so your point is that Hitler wasnt racist. Thanks for that.
 
Are you able to quote a theory of Darwin's that justifies racism?



No, you haven't.

You have posted a fragment of a sentence, from an unknown source.
The source was Darwin himself i believe.

Here is another fragment.

Christian reformers had spent decades in the early 19th century teaching Britain to view non-European races as their equals before God. In a matter of years, Darwin swept not only God off the table, but also the value of people of every race with him.

No sources, but copied and pasted from 'evolution is a lie' websites.
 
It was theories like Darwins that were used to justify colonialism.

i believe.

I have here my copy of "The Origin of Species" in which Darwin expounds his observations as a renowned naturalist, his investigations and conclusions leading to his theory of Evolution by Natural Selection.

please tell me in which chapter you think your words are to be found.

You need to brush up on your Darwin, the quote i referred to isn't in the "Origin of the species" or didn't you know that.

Darwin was a decent enough bloke,being a Toff he just had to much time and money on his hands, so he sailed off around the world collecting plants and stuffed animals.
His ideas were not original, theories about humans being related to monkeys had been kicking around since the first man saw the first monkey.
For a bloke who liked to expound at lenght about a discipline in which he had no formal training he did ok.

He was in the right place at the right time, he repackaged old ideas for a world were racism was mainstream and considered normal.
The imperialists lapped up his ideas because it gave a scientific underpinning for absurd racist ideas.
